Catchment, explained

## How catchment works at The Royal Latin School

After passing the STT (121+), places go by looked-after/pupil-premium, siblings, staff, then catchment children, then all others; distance is the tie-break.

Check whether the school uses a named priority area, home-to-school distance, or other priority groups. The map is a starting point, not an admissions decision.
